Being a fulltime Instagram model seems like a dream come true. Who wouldn’t want to be famous for taking selfies and having legions of international fans tell you how hot you are every day?

But, according to one Insta-famous model, the fame and fortune come with a heavy emotional toll.
Thirty-two-year-old Amanda Lee has been gaining Instagram followers since her first post back in 2014. The se*y personal trainer now has 11.2 million followers thanks to her scantily clad fitness-focused posts.

Want to check out one of Amanda’s workout videos for yourself? Or perhaps you just want to see her amazing butt in action? Well, you’re in luck, we’ve got one of her very fit and se*y videos below:

“Fitness is se*y,” Amanda revealed when speaking to Cosmopolitan. “When I realized sexier photos got more likes, I was enticed by the attention.” She has now become obsessed with taking the perfect self-portraits and works with her mother, her main photographer, to get just the right angles, lighting, and looks.
She uses apps like Facetune to make herself appear flawless and obsesses over every detail before a new post is added to her Instagram. Her best shots can get up to 6000 likes, and her effort is paying off. Amanda claims she makes a salary in the high six figures from her Instagram presence alone.
She posts ads on her account for up to $20,000 apiece and has gained numerous fitness clients who pay $350 per hour for personal training. However, all of her devotion to her online presence has burnt Amanda out.
“Once I got all the followers, I reevaluated things — like, is this really me?” she explained. “For my mental health, I don’t want to get so wrapped up in perfection. I want to be more confident in myself without trying so hard.”

Amanda claims that she originally created her Instagram account to advertise her personal training availability, which, at the time, she charged only $35 per hour for. Then, after just six months online, Amada had gained over 100,000 followers thanks to a nod from a high profile client.
She was already getting advertisement and endorsement deals. When MateFit Tea offered a $3000 advance, that was only the beginning. Supplement and clothing companies were offering her deals left and right and the money was pouring in.
However, in all the excitement, Amanda lost herself. “I always wanted to appeal to everyone,” she explains, “but I got seduced by people’s responses and sidetracked trying to maintain this curvy physique and build a se*y brand.”
She says she spends hours in the gym to sculpt and maintain her perfect image. She uses a lot of weights and resistance bands while performing squats, deadlifts, lunges, and lifts to keep her butt looking its best, but says the best way to make yourself look great is with a camera.
“It’s funny how you can really enhance the way your butt looks with certain angles and lighting,” she reveals. “I’ll take, like, a hundred photos just to get the perfect one.”
However, to keep up with her competition, Amanda has undergone plastic surgery, getting breast implants and using botox. “People might look at me and think, ‘Your body is amazing,’ but I look at other girls’ pages and think, Oh my God, SHE is so perfect!” she reveals.

The constant pressure to look perfect is difficult and Amanda strives to be more than just a pretty face with a rockin’ body. Especially looking to maintain longevity in her career, Amanda wants to turn her Instagram away from being so se*y and more toward being fit and healthy.

“I don’t look down on Instagram modeling, but I’ve done that,” she explains. “I want to have a little bit more substance than posting sponsored posts for other brands.”

She’s been posting workout clips in recent times in hopes of taking a step in a new direction.”I want to post more with friends, wearing outfits that I like even if they don’t photograph well,” she says.

She also explains that she aspires to be more like Instagram personality Tammy Hebrow, who not only has 8.2 million followers but also has a family and a Women’s Best sponsorship.

Though for all of you who may be disappointed that Amanda wants to change her focus to a more down to earth approach, don’t fret. She assured her fans, “I’m not hanging up my bikini just yet.”

From time to time, we all get various kinds of bumps and lesions on different parts of our hands.

Usually, bumps and lesions found on our fingers, wrists, and palms are caused by some sort of injuries such as those stemming from insect bites, callouses or work-induced blisters.
Unfortunately, there are some circumstances whereby bumps on wrists are caused by a more serious condition. In the medical world, these bumps are referred to as hygroma (and are sometimes known as “ganglion cyst”).

Learn more about them here:

While similar bumps and lesions are usually caused by insect bites and blisters acquire in the workplace (especially in fields where the work tends to be more physical), a ganglion cyst is not caused by either of these.
Ganglion cysts usually start off fairly benign and they usually form as small capsules or cysts.

Unfortunately, these types of bumps that occur on the wrist are not merely a superficial blemish that you should outright ignore.
There are a number of different areas near the wrist where a ganglion cyst may begin to emerge. These cysts can appear on the surface of your palm, near the center or nearer the thumb in which case they will feel softer to touch than normal.
A hygroma can also emerge on the inner sides of the fingers, near either the phalanx or the knuckle. Bumps in these areas will also feel soft.
A ganglion cyst can stem from various causes and so for this reason, it can be difficult to determine the underlying reason why someone may have developed it.

In a less sinister scenario, these bumps could have occurred as a result of a recent injury or a bone fracture which has not properly healed. Such injuries usually heal on their own without any sort of medical attention.

In one of the worst-case scenarios, (which normally arises in older people), a ganglion cyst could stem from numerous degenerative illnesses.
These sorts of conditions tend to affect the joints near the wrist and cause inflammation of the soft tissues.

In other cases, the cyst can stem from an injury caused by repetitive wrist movements, for instance, those who work on computers the whole day may be prone to this.

And it only gets more complicated from here on out, because just as there are different causes of hygroma, there are also different symptoms that doctors and patients rely on to procure a diagnosis.
One of the main symptoms attached to hygroma is a noticeable difficulty in moving the affected joints.

The growth rate of the bump varies from patient to patient, and can even change in the same patient during different periods.
Fortunately, for all those who happen to have a ganglion cyst, it cannot turn into a malignant tumor. It is very easily removed by a surgeon without any further complications.

Yes, a bump on your wrist could potentially have been caused by a degenerative illness but this is unlikely if the person affected is young and generally quite fit and healthy.

So there you have it – that bump on your wrist is pretty common and, 99% of the time, usually nothing to worry about.

Every mother is genetically programmed to protect their young, no matter what the threat is. It is this inherent sense of duty that causes every mother to fear the day that their child experiences pain, be it emotional or physical.

Why? Because even if not directly involved, a mother will always feel guilty for their offspring’s suffering – a feeling which only intensifies if they could have done something to prevent it.

So, every mother can relate to Jada Pinkett Smith when she learned that her teen daughter had been hiding a secret about self-harm for years.
The truth was revealed during an episode of Smith’s Facebook Watch talk show series, Red Table Talks. The episode, which aired on Monday, featured Smith’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, and her 17-year-old daughter, Willow.

Listen as she talks openly about her struggle with self-harm…

Together the three generations discussed ‘Surviving Loss’ in their own individual way, prompting a surprise admission from teenage Willow.
For Smith, her biggest loss came in the form of her close friend, rapper Tupac Shakur, who was fatally shot in 1996. “That was a huge loss in my life,” the Smith family matriarch explains.“He was one of those people that I expected to be here. My upset is more anger, because I feel that he left me and I know that’s not true and it’s a very selfish way to think about it, but I really did believe that he was going to be here for the long run. When I think about it, I still get really mad, I get mad at God, I get mat at him, I get mad at everybody.”

As a teenager, Willow has luckily been free from experiencing any great loss in her life. However, she did admit to feeling like she’d lost herself during her rise to fame in 2010 – when Willow was just nine-years-old.
“I honestly feel like I lost my sanity at one point,” she explains. “It was after that whole ‘Whip My Hair’ thing and I had just stopped doing singing lessons and I was kind of just in this gray area of, ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything I can do besides this?’.”
‘Whip My Hair’ was Willow’s first single which, thanks to the help of her famous family, saw great success. The catchy track went platinum in the US, prompting Smith to announce that she’d be releasing an album – but that album never materialized.

“After the tour, the promotion and all that, they wanted me to finish my album and I was like, I’m not going to do that,” says Willow, acknowledging her uncompleted album for the first time.
Around this time, Willow famously shaved all of her hair off, a clear distress signal that displayed her desire to disassociate herself from her ‘Whip My Hair’ fame.

Later, in an interview as part of Jay-Z’s ‘Footnotes of Adnis’ video, Will Smith stated that this was the moment he realized that he’d pushed his daughter too far.
“We came downstairs and she had shaved her head bald. She shaved her head bald in the middle of her ‘Whip My Hair’ tour. I was like, ‘Oh, s–t’,” the Fresh Prince of Bel Air icon remembers. “I’m looking at that girl and I’m like, ‘Got it. I understand. You will not have this trouble out of me ever again. Let’s go, baby. We can go’.”

Up until now, Willow herself has never acknowledged that turbulent moment in her young life. Clearly feeling comfortable, the California-born teen candidly explained to her mother how that affected her mental health.

“After all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music. It was just so crazy and I was plunged into this black hole, and I was cutting myself,” she explains, whilst her mother’s face turns to one of horror.

“I never talk about it because it was such a short, weird point in my life,” she said. “I honestly felt like I was experiencing so much emotional pain, but my physical circumstances weren’t reflecting that. One night I was like, this is actually psychotic and after that I just stopped.”
Clearly stunned by this revelation, Jada is momentarily speechless before replying: “That’s good to freakin’ know, Willow, I had no idea. I never saw any signs of that.”
The honest and open discussion has received a lot of support online from fans of the series. Despite having only been uploaded 18 hours ago, the episode has already been viewed more than four million times.
Willow’s story reduced many fans to tears, but there is no doubt that nobody felt more pain than Jada.

Thankfully that episode in her life is over and now she has her own path to forge in the industry if she wishes to. We wish her all the best!

Photography is undeniably one of the most impressive and meaningful tools invented in our modern world. The ability to capture a moment right then and there is incomparable and simply spectacular.

However, we now live in a digital world where photos are manipulated to such an extent that often they don’t capture the moment as it really happened.

Rarely do photos taken in this modern age remain exactly as they are without any kind of retouching or filtering.

And with pretty much everyone on the planet having either a Snapchat or Instagram account, it’s not just professional photography that relies on special effects.

Learn how to turn a photograph into a painting:

However, professional photography is definitely the frontrunner when it comes to making photos look heaps more majestic than they actually are.

Photos are modified with modern editing tools like Photoshop, taking away from their natural simplicity, but in turn making for an extraordinary picture.

So, we’ve compiled a list of some the world’s most beautiful photographs that are actually just one big lie. These stunning photographs will be accompanied by photos of what the set actually looked like before it was digitally modified.

1. To create this historical scene, mini cars were used

The deception is real.

2. I guess it’s fairly clever
Still a lie though.

3. Underwater visuals aren’t as impressive as they look

Where’s the water at?

4. Size doesn’t matter

It’s how you use… the camera angles and zoom in button.

5. Teaching kids deception, one fake photo at a time

What has our world come to?

7. I mean, the lie should have been obvious from the get-go

Still a stunning photo though…

8. A little water is all you need

But boy, is the original photo underwhelming…

9. The girl and the water are real

You just don’t take into account how photo must have been snapped by a team of people in their modern underwater gear.

10. They almost had me – I thought the photo was 100% real

I guess we all just wish we could fly.

11. You’d never guess how this was made…

I mean, the guy does have talent!

12. Another water-based lie

You gotta do what you gotta do…

13. Because this totally seems real and 100% unaltered

Psych – of course, it’s a massive fake.

14. So these are thousands of city lights

Or are they tiny little hearts?

15. They definitely get brownie points for effort

16. These are not the northern lights of Iceland

Just a bunch of tube lights…

17. It would be impossible to get that close to hot, burning lava

Still an impressive shot though!

18. Milk in cereal commercials isn’t actually milk

It’s actually just a load of glue.

19. A lake made of broken glass?

In reality, it looked rather different.

So there you have it: take every beautiful photograph with a grain of salt because many of them are not all that they seem!

This story is simultaneously inspiring and horrifying. Dana Vulin is a 28 year old woman living in Perth, Australia, and her life took an incredible turn a few years ago.
Natalie Dimitrovska saw her estranged husband talking with Dana at a New Year’s Eve party.
Natalie started harassing Dana, leaving her disturbing voice mails, saying things like “I’m going to ruin her pretty little face.”
One night Natalie, under the influence of drugs, broke into Dana’s house, soaked her in methylated spirits, and set her on fire. Dana received third degree burns that covered 60% of her entire body. She was left entirely unrecognizable and in severe condition, but slowly, Dana began to heal. This photo collage shows her early pain and the first stages of her recovery.
Dana has said that before the attack occurred, her looks had been her pride.
In order to recovery, she needed to wear a special face-mask for two and a half years. She said that mask made her feel like she had no face and no identity.
While still in the mask, Dana appeared in court to testify against Natalie, who has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for her actions.
Further tragedy unfortunately stuck Dana. During her recovery she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to undergo surgery to remove the cancer cells. She is currently cancer-free.
Eventually it came time to remove the mask.
Bravely, Dana decided to do this on a television show, after which she would appear on a runway with her new face.
She said that she’s proud of her body and her recovery before removing the mask and showing the world what she now looked like.
She expressed that she hoped people would focus on the inner qualities it took to recover from such a horrific attack rather than her current looks.
After revealing her new look, she dressed up and walked a runway in front of a live audience, who cheered her on and helped Dana in celebrating her amazing recovery.
She says now that she’s beginning to feel like herself again, free from the pain of the burns, the faceless mask, and her cancer.
Dana’s story is an inspiring one of amazing courage in the face of impossible-seeming and extreme circumstances.
Undoubtedly her family, and all who hear this story, are proud of Dana for fighting what she’s fought through. Her experience is an unimaginable one for most.
Sometimes the world will kick you down with all the strength that it has, but if you fight back with equal strength you can recover from almost anything!
We wish Dana all the luck and happiness possible as she continues moving forward with her life. Share away, people.

We live in the age of social media. More than the interaction we have face to face with the people who actually matter in our life, we have interactions with absolute strangers on the social media. It’s safe to say that we are obsessed with social media.

Dmitry Kozhukho who prefers to be called Alina Davis is a 23-year-old and a hundred percent male. Dmitry prefer to wear dresses and he said, he’s an ‘Androgyne’ it means he’s unable to fit neatly into either gender role. And to make this couple even crazier, his wife Alison Brooks, 19, looks exactly like him. You may even think of them as identical twins!
Alisa (right) knew that Alina (left) is an Androgyne. She even admits that she took the first step in the relationship and said: “I came up to him and said he is very beautiful.”

When Alina and Alisa got married, the registry office was in outraged because the couple arrived at the ceremony both wearing a bridal gown. Still, the marriage proceeds.

The couple was not breaking Russian anti-gay and lesbian laws with their marriage, in fact, they wanted to have at least two children.Alisa said they are deeply in love and want to have not just one child but at least two.Dmitry believes “that their wedding has sent an important message to people in Russia, where there is widespread official and public disapproval of the western trend of gay and lesbian unions.”
It’s not every day we see a straight guy that’s more confident wearing dress than the normal ones.

What’s crazier is that this couple looks so identical, at first I didn’t know who the girl is and who the guy is. For as long as they’re not breaking any law, who are we to stop them from their happiness?

1. Stay At College

No one wants to be around you if you think this dress is white and gold. It seems that the black and blue people feel inferior to the white and gold people, as if something might be wrong with their own eyes.

2. Won’t Change Her Verdict

Wow, these people should be on a jury, they are so sure.

3. We Can’t Be Friends

If you can’t see the right color we are no longer friends. It’s over.

4. Is It Worth An FU?

These people are so positive in what they see that they think the other is cray cray.

5. Insanity

Should anyone be wasting so much time on this?

6. STOP YELLING

The truth comes out of this type of world problem … he loves Frodo more. Break up time.

7. Go Away

Friendships are shattering as each believes they are friends with a stupid person.

8. You’re Dead To Me

You may as well be dead if you can’t see true colors … or at least what I see.
